Will this help us unlock the boot loader? Or get a custom recovery to flash roms?
I have a KindleFire 2 thats kinda a brick right now. Hoping dev work can help get it going again.
what about using a factory cable and completely starting from blank slate by wiping everything on the device? and installing a new bootloader?

Hey guys,
So, I'm a noob here and I think I messed up badly. I had my kindle rooted and was attempting to install CyanogenMod using an app called fire flash as I was instructed. Now my kindle is stuck in a boot loop. The Kindle Fire logo is not animated and disappears and comes back... over and over again. I was originally trying to get CyanogenMod through a guide on Gizmodo but was experiencing some problems and decided to try the fire flash route. Does anyone have any info on how to fix the boot loop problem I'm facing?
Thank you!

Depends on what you did. Check my thread, and see what you did wrong. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
If you can access TWRP, and made a Nandroid backup, then reboot into TWRP and restore. Otherwise, if you can enter fastboot, then refer to number 4 in that thread.

Hey I ran into a similar situation, my logo is exactly as you described. Tomorrow I'm going to order a Fastboot cable, and hopefully be able to use that to flash a working bootloader. If anyone has any more updates on this situation, it would be greatly appreciated :laugh:
So i tried installing Cyanogenmod 10.1, my phone is already rooted and bootloader unlocked, the phone was stuck at the FreeXperia logo after flashing the zip through CWM. After that I tried the Doomkernel and it doesnt boot past the doomkernel splash screen either. Now I can get into CWM and TWRP but I really don't know what to do in order to get a rom working again, can anyone help me? I can also boot into fastboot ofcourse.
Thanks!

It's an idea to find out before doing things that could make your £400+ device a paperweight.

I'm finding it somewhat impossible to install a custom ROM on this currently useless device.
It is a Kindle Fire HD 7" (not the new HDX)

- Already tried it and the tablet goes into a bootloop once I restart, have to use factory cable to restore, apparently it doesn't work if your 7.30 or above

I tried this to downgrade it to 7.2.1 but once completed the tablet said it cant boot and has to do a restore, then it goes back to 7.30. There is a 7.2.3 option too but I never tried it.
I don't know what to do all I want is to get rid of this stupid crap rom but if I can't I'll just have to use a launcher... any ideas?
When you boot looped did the kindle fire logo turn blue?
The first link should work fine for installing twrp the issue with 7.3 is the boot loader and the entire reason you install the freedom boot part.
It should install twrp and at the same time most likely boot loop your device.
Just try using the key combo if twrp doesn't automatically load.
After installing twrp you need to already have a rom on your sd card and to immediately install it.
I would recommend to try the first link again.

Yessir I already tried it 2 times. First is when I first got my Kindle and had to wait a month for a fast boot cable. I tried again but still boot loops again on the Kindle Fire logo, really frusterating.

Use your fastboot cord and try using this tool. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 this is a root with restore.

What version is your stock software? If you have the new refresh of the KFireHD (2013) then the 2nd bootloader exploit wont work for you.

Good evening. I have a HTC One international. I tried to make my phone S-off with a toolkit fownd on another website, and somehow bricked the phone. It starts, but doesn't go past the "htc quietly brilliant" logo. I searched the forum here, because i heard it is the best, but i haven't found a clear answer to my problem.
If someone has the time, please help me.
p.s. i am a beginner in the art of custom roms, rooting and this sort of stuff, so please, keep as simple as you can.
Thanks a lot!
Can you boot to the bootloader by holding volume down and the power button for about 15 seconds?
If so, what is your bootloader screen reading and do you have a custom or stock recovery installed?
As Steve says, can you boot into the boot loader, and do you have a custom recovery installed? If you do, you should be able to re-install your ROM and boot again.
If not, and your boot loader is unlocked, you should be able to flash a custom recovery via fastboot & then install a custom rom to allow you to boot.
Hi guys,
So I am quite a noob at doing such things, you should know this before reading this post. I went ahead and was booting cm11 for the first time after using seokhun's method, but found that my tablet was looping. I (foolishly) decided to reflash the .bin file from his post and start from scratch, but I ended up messing up the Kindle further. It flashes the orange logo three times, and then stays on the logo on the fourth time. Recovery doesn't work, and it won't boot into fastboot. Help!

Are you using a fastboot cable to get into fastboot?
>>>Sent from my homebuilt TARDIS running Android 4.4... or maybe it's a Kindle Fire HD running Cyanogenmod 11<<<

Sent from my MIND using my BODY....(JUST KIDDING)
Can't get into recovery, and no, I am not using a fastboot cable. I ordered one today though. Will it work even with the hard bricks?
